In an important initiative to bolster healthcare services in Yemen, the UAE Aid Agency has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to construct a state-of-the-art hospital in the Aden Governorate in Yemen.
Vice Chairman of the UAE Aid Agency, Sultan Mohamed Al Shamsi, and Governor of Aden, Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, signed the MoU.
As per the MoU, the new hospital will comprise a host of medical departments, including outpatient clinics and specialised units such as emergency, sterilisation, radiology, laboratory, pharmacy, and intensive care, in addition to external clinics.
It will also include dedicated wards for men, women, and children.
Al Shamsi emphasised the UAE’s leading global role in and commitment to enhancing healthcare services around the world.
He said that the initiative aligned with the country’s humanitarian mission to promote the development and well-being of communities.
“It reflects the enduring legacy and values of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and is in line with the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to improve living conditions of the Yemeni people,” he added.
Al Shamsi explained that the UAE Aid Agency was working in partnership with governments, international organisations, and relevant institutions to improve living standards by providing essential health services and humanitarian and developmental assistance under the UAE’s foreign aid policy.
He expressed the UAE’s determination to continue humanitarian and developmental support to ensure the availability of essential medical services for all segments of the Yemeni society and to build capacities to international standards in tune with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Lamlas expressed his gratitude to the UAE leadership, government, and people for their unwavering support for Yemen through providing aid for various sectors such as education, health and infrastructure.
He underscored the importance of the hospital, which would significantly enhance healthcare services in the city of Aden
